Saturday . . .

At some point Friday night, someone in the WHL office got together a roundup of exhibition games. That is a definite improvement over what has happened in the past.

The Moose Jaw Warriors inducted Kent Hayes and Mike Keane into the Warriors & Legends Hall of Fame on Friday night. Both were original Warriors in 1984. The first two inductees, a year ago, were Troy Edwards and Mark MacKay. . . . Keane, of course, went on to win three Stanley Cups and now, at the age of 41, plays for the AHL’s Manitoba Moose in his hometown of Winnipeg. . . . Matthew Gourlie of the Moose Jaw Times-Herald reports that Keane offered this: “To the future Moose Jaw Warriors: you don¹t know it yet, but you’re playing in the best city in Canada. You’re surrounded by great people who will take care of you.”

A note from Joe Pelletier, over at GreatestHockeyLegends (www.greatesthockeylegends.com):
“GreatestHockeyLegends.com 's countdown of the 20 greatest photos in hockey history has reached the final five.
“Photo No. 5 shows Gordie Howe answering fan mail in the hospital. He is there with a fractured skull, courtesy of the famous and controversial collision with Toronto's Teeder Kennedy. Howe's career was almost over before it began.
“But Howe came back, and became the greatest player not only of his day, but perhaps of all time. I think that is why I like the photo so much. Hockey players put their bodies through the most amazing
physicality and abuse, but they always come back. No other photo captures that quite like this one.
“Tune into the final of GreatestHockeylegends.com 's greatest photos of all time.”

Take a moment today and remember Killer Kowalski, who died today in Boston at the age of 81. Now there was wrestler . . . You likely knew that his given name was Edward Walter Spulnik and that he grew up in Windsor.
